Chapter 281 - Is He Even Human?
"I didn't... I didn't I sense him or even notice when he came... Was it a fluke?" Laurence muttered
As he looked closer at the young man, he felt his heart sink as he noticed something. He was walking and yet, no sounds were being made, and his presence... It was as if he wasn't even there.
He then looked towards the leader who was heading towards the young man and wondered if he should warn him, but he decided not to, to see just who was that young man.
The leader who made his way towards the young man, wondered just how someone blind could end up there. Surely he wouldn't be able to see with that blindfold covering his eyes. It was either a trap or...
"A gift from the heavens..." He muttered with excitement
However, during the whole time they had spent analysing the young man. The young man hadn't done as they asked, nor did he show any interest in them or what they were doing.
He simply continued walking on the path he had been walking and ignored them.
Seeing as how the young man had ignored them and was about to walk by them, the leader once again began to show signs of getting annoyed.
Quickly, he and angrily he ran and caught up to the young man before he could get to far away from them.
"Who said you could leave?" Asked the leader as he approached the young man
He carried his long blazing hot sword on his waist and was now only a few feet from thee young man, and could instantly notice the change in the air. The air felt rather thin and for some reason, it was warm.
But he shrugged it off as it being due to his flame spell which he merged with the sword.
There was no reply. The young man as if acting like the grown leader next to him wasn't there. He simply continued to walk at the same, moderate pace through and past the trees. Completely ignoring the giant next to him.
Seeing this, veins begna to pop out of the leaders forhead as he moved hand towards the young man and placed it over his spiky head.
"Listen here you little shit... Don't fucking ignore your elders..." The man muttered as he began to increase his grip on the young man's head.
As he did this, the young man stopped and turned to him. The leader instantly, felt a strange ominous and dangerous feeling as this happened, but that only annoyed him even more.
"W-What...? Y-You think you're scary or something?! A mere brat!?!" Asked the leader as he pulled his arm back to swing it.
'W-What's wrong with this kid? W...Why do I feel so scared...?' The leader wondered as he did so
He wasn't sure why but he felt chills go down his spine the instant he initiated the movement. He wasn't sure if it was due to the fact that he couldn't see the boy's eyes as it was being covered by blindfolds along with the fact that despite not being able to see, the boy somehow managed to easily face the man.
Either way he was absolutely horrified. Without moving the young man remained motionless as the leader swung his wide open hands at his face.
Seeing this, the leader reflexively stopped with his hands right next to the young man's face. It didn't hit. He stopped short.
His whole arm was trembling in fear as this happened. As if seeing this, the young man turned away and continued on his path, ignoring the leader once again.
The leader stared at his hand in disbelief before clenching them as he bit his lips.
"Me...? Scared...? Of a kid... who can't show respect?! Hahaha... Great. Now I feel like killing again." He muttered
Following that, he tightened the grip on the handle of his sword, before swinging it at a fast pace straight at the young man's head.
And in that instant, everyone's eyes widened as Blood spilt through area in a burst, turning the crystal sky blue snow and ice into a bloody red.
Laurence's mouth opened wide in disbelief as he instinctively took many steps back in fear. The only surviving member also backed away from the girl, his entire body trembling in fear as he did so.
"W...Wha... W-W-What is that!?!" He muttered with his voice trembling as he pointed at what was ahead of him
The girl's eyes were opened wide, she had witnessed the scene from start to finish. The sound of her bones trembling and crying out with dread filled her ears as she kept her eyes focused on what was ahead of her.
But despite all the fear in her body and her instincts warning her to get away, she just stood there in disbelief.
Steam could be seen forming around the area as the snow around them began to evaporate. It felt warm, it almost felt as if they were in a desert.
"He's... Dead...? Where...?" Laurence muttered as he stared
*Thud*
A small thud could be heard as the Leader's body dropped to the ground. Bright red tainted the already tainted snow-white ground as this happened.
The only surviving member, quickly turned his head back before puking out the little food that he had recently eaten. His entire body was shaken to the core.
All that remained of the leader was the top half of his body. His hands, along with his legs were gone. Blood heavily poured out of the openings in his body as if trying to escape from the fear that they had experienced.
"What happened to it...?" Laurence asked
His legs and hands hand vanished, it was as if they were never there in the first place. Just the torso head and arms missing a hand were attached.
"Oi... What the hell was that...? How the hell did he....? Is he even human?' Laurence wondered nervously
